362: Should we join GTI?

With Roy's roar, everyone shifted their gaze to him.

Even Liu Yan's gaze changed in that instant to the look Roy had just become familiar with.

For a fleeting moment, Liu Yan even felt that when he mentioned the hundred thousand haf coins on stage earlier...

...he had lost a bit of face because of Roy.

No wonder everyone else was working so hard... Realizing everyone was looking at him, Roy immediately grabbed the hem of his shirt and covered his face.

At the same time, he revealed his six clearly visible abdominal muscles.

There were many recording devices present; if Roy's face were accidentally caught on camera...

...the news on the internet would be turned upside down.

An Operator belonging to GTI, taking a hundred thousand haf coins from Hafke, and joining the crowd to slander Asara.

This was to the extent that if it were posted, it would be dismissed as fake news.

Then, a complaining female voice came through Roy's earpiece:

"Roy, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you shouting?"

"You're earning extra cash from Hafke while on field duty, and you're still complaining it's not enough?"

"Do you have any idea how serious the consequences would be if you were caught on camera?"

"Are you counting on me to hack and delete them one by one for you?"

"And that college student just now, why didn't you stop him?"

Facing Mai Xiaowen's complaints, Roy covered his face even more tightly.

"He was too fast; I didn't react in time..."

After a moment, the crowd finally looked away from Roy.

At the same time, despair was written all over their faces.

They knew better than anyone the consequences of exposing Hafke in public.

On stage, Liu Yan had already returned the gun to the soldier from before.

"Tha... thank you."

The dazed soldier took the gun and looked at Liu Yan closely.

The latter waved his hand dismissively and walked into the crowd.

Unlike before, this time, wherever Liu Yan went, a vacuum formed as the crowd naturally dispersed.

Everyone stepped aside in unison.

It was as if being near Liu Yan was something terrifying.

If Asara was a terrorist or a mobster in their eyes...

...then at this moment, Liu Yan was a bona fide terrorist leader, a mafia boss.

Only after Liu Yan moved away from the Soldiers did a few reporters muster the courage to approach them.

As if they had made a firm decision, they bowed deeply to the Soldiers.

"We're sorry!"

"Can we... join Asara?"

Hearing this, a soldier immediately sneered.

"Get lost."

"Did you forget the stench of the lies you were spewing earlier?"

"Now that Hafke has been exposed and you know your lives are at stake, you start looking for a master."

"Exactly! You buy when the house price peaks, and you offer milk after the baby is dead."

"Asara doesn't welcome you!"

The Soldiers vented all the frustration and resentment they had been holding back.

"Wait a moment."

Just as they were ranting enthusiastically, the soldier called Wafa raised his hand.

He first looked gratefully in Liu Yan's direction, then slowly walked into the middle of the Soldiers.

"Officer Sayyid is currently away, so we need to consider this carefully."

"What Asara lacks right now is the power of public opinion."

"This is why the international tide of opinion has been unfavorable to Asara."

"These people have no choice now but to join Asara."

"Under these circumstances, we don't need to worry about them betraying us."

"At the same time, they can bolster Asara's influence. Although they can't show their faces anymore, their rhetoric and linguistic traps are worth learning."

"Through them, we might be able to train some reporters exclusive to Asara."

Wafa finished speaking, and the Soldiers rolled their eyes in unison.

"Tsk tsk tsk, always with the fancy talk."

"Always using words the Brothers can't understand."

"To put it simply, they're useful to keep, right?"

Wafa curled his lip and nodded helplessly.

"You should have just said that from the start. All that nonsense, the Brothers couldn't understand it anyway."

Seeing that the Soldiers agreed, the reporters looked at Wafa as if they had received a royal pardon.

As long as they could stay to see Sayyid...

Given Sayyid's personality, there was a high probability they would be allowed to join.

At the very least, Sayyid wouldn't do anything to them.

On the other side, Roy sneakily approached Liu Yan.

"Hey man, which division are you from?"

"From your accent, you should be in the same division as me, but I haven't seen you before. Are you new?"

"The higher-ups don't allow killing civilians, didn't you know?"

Roy's voice was very low, so low that Liu Yan couldn't hear him at all.

Fortunately, through the subtitles popping up over the other's head, Liu Yan knew exactly what he was saying.

"What are you mumbling about?" Liu Yan frowned and looked at Roy.

"What's this about divisions?"

As Liu Yan finished speaking, Mai Xiaowen's voice came through Roy's earpiece.

"Roy, I just checked. He's not with GTI."

"And... there's absolutely no information on him..."

Hearing this, Roy's pupils couldn't help but dilate.

But he didn't fully show it in front of Liu Yan.

"But the higher-ups saw his performance on the live stream just now."

"The preliminary assessment is that he's definitely not one of Hafke's men. After all, what he just did was a complete slap in Hafke's face."

"As for whether he belongs to Asara, that's still uncertain."

"Whether he has any other identity is also unclear for now."

"However, the higher-ups said to try and invite him to join GTI if possible."

"The higher-ups' estimate of his potential is very high; it's worth the risk."

After Mai Xiaowen finished, Roy rolled his eyes and then patted Liu Yan on the shoulder.

"Hey, want to join GTI?"

Hearing Roy being so direct, Mai Xiaowen, far away at headquarters, immediately held her forehead in exasperation.

Although she was speechless, on second thought, it seemed quite normal for him.

"GTI?" Liu Yan looked puzzled.

Facing Liu Yan's confusion, Roy familiarly put his arm around Liu Yan's shoulder.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not here for a part-time job; I'm on field duty."

"Let me reintroduce myself."

"My name is Roy."

"Codename: Bee Doctor."

"Class: Support."

"As for GTI, it's an awesome organization. Room and board are provided."

"It's a global emergency organization under the United Nations."

"Currently, GTI's main mission is to mediate the conflict between Asara and Hafke."

"I saw your moves just now. You've got skills. Come join GTI with me, and you'll definitely have a bright future."

Looking at Roy's face, which made one want to laugh at a single glance, and his animated gestures, Liu Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

While the two were whispering, a tourist had quietly walked up behind Roy at some point.

"That organization, does it really cover room and board? Can I join?"

The sudden voice startled Roy. After looking back and seeing it was just an ordinary tourist, Roy rolled his eyes and waved him away.

"Beat it, beat it."

The tourist, having been rejected, was first stunned, then his expression gradually turned resentful.

Why him?

Why can he join and I can't?

The tourist glanced at Liu Yan and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, fine, I'll go."

With that, he walked away from them without looking back.

"So, have you thought it over?" Roy continued to press after driving the tourist away.

Liu Yan thought for a moment.

He still hadn't fully figured out this world he had transmigrated into.

But based on everything he had just experienced...

...the war caused by the two sides, Asara and Hafke.

GTI, which could attempt to mediate between them, was certainly no ordinary organization.

Besides, with room and board provided... "What's the salary?" Liu Yan asked.

Roy thought for a bit, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Per month..."

"...three million haf coins!"

"Of course, money is the least useful thing."

"Because as your rank increases, this allowance will also go up."

"GTI Operators are standardly equipped with Level 3 helmets, Level 3 armor, and semi-modified firearms! Plus, plenty of Level 3 ammunition and various medicines."

"And the helmets and armor all come with free maintenance!!"

"For special missions, depending on the difficulty, they might even issue helmets and armor of Level 4 or higher!"

After speaking, the corners of Roy's mouth curled up slightly.

Ordinary GTI Operators didn't get such generous treatment.

Every time they applied for supplies, the Commander would only say one thing:

"Sorry, I have already issued all the supplies within my authority."

But in order to successfully recruit Liu Yan, Roy had raised the standards himself.

"How's that for generous?"
